It is a designated Commonwealth Treasure and is a registered landmark. The Museum’s world class collection of more than 227,000 works of art includes major holdings of European, American and Asian origin. The various classes of artwork include sculpture, paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, armor, and decorative arts. As a result of this vast collection, the Museum receives between 750,000 – 1 million visitors annually. The Museum plays a central role in the civic life of the city. The Museum is often called upon to play a central role in major city events including, the annual Welcome America and Made in America concerts, the 2015 Pala Visit, 2016 Democratic National Convention and next year’s NFL Draft. The museum’s Main Building (2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway) was completed in 1928 at the northwest end of Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The Museum stands on the site of the former city reservoir. It marks the easterly entry into the Fairmount Park system and the westerly end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the first diagonal boulevard in the city, which terminates at City Hall. The intention was to replicate the Champs- Elysees with Philadelphia’s cultural institutions placed along the boulevard. The Main Building is five floors (three above grade) comprising 631,000 square feet. In 2013, a new Art Handling facility was constructed at the south side the building to enhance the Museum’s ability for shipping and receiving works of art. This new addition added an additional 38,000 square feet of new space. Perelman Building The Museum’s campus also includes the Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building (2525 Pennsylvania Avenue), a lavishly decorated with sculpture, color, and gilding building that is regarded as one of the finest Art Deco structures in Philadelphia. The sculptor Lee Lawrie (1877–1963), whose work adorns such notable American public buildings as Rockefeller Center, the Library of Congress, and the National Academy of Sciences, is principally responsible for its decorative scheme. In style, the building reflects the moment of transition from early twentieth-century historicism to the geometric Art Deco design of the 1920s and 1930s. Completed in 1927 by one of three architectural firms that built the Main Building, the building originally served as the headquarters for the Franklin Mutual Life Insurance Company until 1972. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The Museum purchased the Perelman Building in 2004 and opened it to the public as part of the Museum in 2008 after a full renovation and expansion of the facilities. When purchased, the building was 125,000 square feet and through the renovation, the Museum reclaimed an additional 59,000 square feet of space. The building was renovated and a 59,000 square feet addition was built to accommodate new galleries, art storage, offices, and public services. Rodin Museum Philadelphia’s historic Rodin Museum and Garden ranks among the jewels of the City’s cultural institutions. Administered by the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) since 1939, it is renowned for the beauty of its grounds and architecture, and for the importance of its holdings—one of the largest collections of works by Auguste Rodin in the world. Film magnate Jules Mastbaum first saw the sculptor’s work in Paris in 1923, and immediately began an avid career as a collector. On May 12, 1926, the Commissioners of Fairmount Park formally accepted Mastbaum’s proposal to create a museum for his great monographic collection. The opening of the Rodin Museum and Garden in 1929 made a gift of the building and the collection, to the citizens of Philadelphia—for their enjoyment and for “the cultural improvement” of the city. The building was designed by the French architect Philip Cret, a professor of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, who also designed the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the Federal Reserve Building, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Barnes Foundation. The grand entrance gate is a replica of Rodin’s tomb in Meudon, France. The Garden was designed by landscape architect Jacques Gréber, who had conceived the overall design of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The collaboration between Gréber and Cret on the Rodin Museum and Garden created a gem of Beaux-arts style at its best, a serene enclave on the vibrant cultural corridor of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Core Project The Museum is currently in the mid stages of realizing our Facilities Master Plan, developed in 2006 by Frank Gehry. The first significant project to be executed under the Master Plan is the Core Project, which will begin construction in January 2017. The Main Building of the Museum will be renovated on Levels A, B, and C to reconfigure and revitalize historic public spaces, recapture underutilized areas as expanded gallery space, and enhance the visitor experience in the lower levels of the building. In addition, the Core Project includes an essential upgrade to the building systems, which will result in a major reduction in energy usage in the museum. The scope of work for the Core Project is summarized as follows: Improve Visitor Experience and Orientation o Creates a central Forum, opening up the heart of the Museum o Transforms Lenfest Hall o Restores and reopens historic Kelly Drive entrance and Vaulted Walkway o Clarifies visitor circulation and orientation o Places new retail spaces in optimal locations o Creates new fine dining and food services Activate Collection o Adds 23,000 square feet of gallery space on Level A Address Critical Infrastructure Improvements and Upgrades o Renovates Central Utility Plant . New gas and water services . New electrical service . New emergency power system . New lighting control system . New automatic temperature and humidity control system o New cistern under the southwest terrace for improved storm water management o Addresses code compliance, fire and life safety issues, and ADA access o Provides additional and accessible public restrooms on Levels B & C o Installs fiber optics on Level C with a distribution system to the new server room o Upgrades security systems with CCTV, motion sensors, etc. o Improves lighting and A/V systems for lectures/special events in Lenfest Hall and central Forum 2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS Electrical, Lighting and Backup Energy Systems The Main Building and the Perelman Building both receive HT power on two 13,200 volt PECO lines; Parrish 142 and Westmorland 1067. The feeds enter the Main Building where it is metered, with a utility trench providing connectivity to the Perelman Building. The main switchgear is located within the Main Building, section C4, however construction is currently underway which will change the switchgear location to the B3 section of the building. Lighting at both buildings consist of a mix of fluorescent, incandescent, MR16, as well as LED fixtures. An ongoing project to convert additional spaces to LED lighting has been undertaken by the museum and is accelerating as the LED technology advances. The Main Building’s lighting automation system is an outdated Microlite system. The Perelman lighting automation is a Lutron system. The Main Building currently has two emergency generators. The primary generator is a 140 kW generator which operates security and life safety systems, as well as emergency lighting. A selector switch allows operation of one elevator at a time when under emergency power. The second generator is a 15kW unit which is a backup to the primary emergency generator. This unit, if needed, supplies the security systems and life safety systems only. The Perelman Building has its own 500kW emergency generator. This generator supplies emergency power to (7) AHU’s, security, and life safety systems, as well as emergency lighting. HVAC Systems, Chilled Water Plant, Steam, Building Automation System The main building has a total of (20) AHU’s with (1) additional ERU. The Perelman Building has a total of (13) AHU’s, (7) of which are backed up with emergency power. The main chiller plant resides in section C6 of the Main Building. The Main Building and the Perelman Building both receive chilled water from the chiller plant. The chiller plant is made up of (1) 1000-ton McQuay chiller and (1) 800-ton York unit. Modifications to the existing chiller plant are planned to accommodate the increased demand at the conclusion of the Core Project. Steam is supplied via the Veolia steam loop. The steam enters the Main Building at 150 psi where it is reduced
